So – What did you get then?
I love receiving presents at any opportunity; birthday, Father's Day,
Christmas, wedding anniversary, you name it, I love it!!
Last Sunday (as I write) was another day for gifts, not gifts from us to one
another, but God's gift to us. Pentecost is the celebration of God's gift of
the Holy Spirit, to the church, and individually to each one who believes in
Jesus as Saviour and acknowledges Him as Lord.
The first disciples were told to wait for the gift..... (Acts 1 verse 4)...........
the early believers were told they would receive the gift ….... (Acts 2 verse
38) …...... they were to be filled with the Holy Spirit …… (Ephesians 5
verse 18). That same gift of the Holy Spirit is given to us …... excited?
But there's more!! Consequent upon that initial gift of THE Spirit,
1 Corinthians chapter 12 tells us of a second raft of gifts, given severally to
each believer.
There are a series of principles noted for these gifts -
they are given to be used for the common good
every Christian has been gifted by the Spirit
the gifts are wide ranging; from generosity and administration, to
healing and speaking in tongues
they are planned to be used within the unit described as the body
of Christ.
So, what did you get then?

St. Catherine’S newS
ART GROUP
St Catherine's Painting Group has space for two or more members.
We meet most Wednesdays 12:30 - 2:30 in the side hall.
If you would seriously like to improve your painting come on a Wednesday
and meet Duncan Radcliffe and the group.
Enquiries; Ann Allen 852037
What about Phase 3?
You will no doubt have noticed the new toilets and the re-styled notice boards; in a
sense these are phase 2 and a half!
Phase 3 proper is planned to follow within the next twelve months.
This summer the PCC will be seeking faculty permission from the diocese to
proceed with the Phase 3 transformation of the 'upper' area of the church grounds.
The intention is to create a town centre garden/park to benefit both the church and
the wider community. The plan has been in the pipeline for about 5 years, and we
are now in a position to bring it to fruition.
There are some hurdles and hoops still to be negotiated, but all the present signs are
encouraging.
If all goes well, the work will be completed in spring 2015. We plan to hold....
An Information and Consultation Day
on Saturday 5th July from 11am to 3pm
at St Catherine's Church
We will have on display – copies of the plans and sketches prepared so far; copies of
the research undertaken so far; copies of the permissions being sought; photos of
similar projects carried out elsewhere. At various times of the day PCC members,
the Vicar, members of the Friends of St Catherine's and our church architect will be
present. There will be opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, and register
support or otherwise for the scheme.
Projects of this kind often breed rumour. Please encourage everyone you can to
take this opportunity to discover exactly what is being planned, and how far the
planning has progressed.

A Food Hygiene Course (Level 2) will be held at
St Catherine's on Saturday 19th July 2014. It will start at 10am and finish by 3pm, with a break for lunch.
A soup and roll lunch will be provided.
Anyone who would like to join the course, please contact

From John and Jacquie Fuller
First we must thank everyone for the kindness you all showed to us and the cards
and messages of good wishes and not forgetting the gifts . We both felt very
humbled.
It is frequently said that moving is one of the most stressful things people do and we
can see why but at last we are finally getting ourselves organised. The furniture is at
least in place and boxes are getting unpacked. But the prize for getting sorted out
has to go to Charlie, who, for a dog that can't see did remarkably well in working
out where everything that was of interest to him in just a few days.
At present we have not had an opportunity to attend either of the local churches,
as Sunday mornings have just been too busy in the Guest House and neither of
them have a 'Hub' as such, but we have found that one does have 'Coffee & Chat'
on a Thursday morning so as we may give that a go to start with. So far we have
only been into the centre of Durham a couple of times The city is reactively small
and sits on a double bend of the river Wear. We live in a village on the outskirts
and yet it takes only 10 to 15 minutes to get into the city centre. It is dominated by
its Norman Cathedral and Castle the latter is now part of the University but
incorporates a museum. The Cathedral is famous as the burial place of St Cuthbert
and also has a shrine to the Venerable Bede. It also has had some notable Bishops.
Including Justin Welby the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Tom Wright the
author of many books on Theology. More infamously was David Jenkins who made
some controversial remarks about the resurrection.
We greatly value the friendship of our friends in Ventnor and hope to keep in touch
with as many as possible. We will be sending letters to the link from time to time,
and also would love to hear from anyone.
Our Address is: Hillrise Guest House, 13 Durham Road West, Bowburn,

St Boniface and Bonchurch
IT’S ALL FOR JESUS
Six Holy Dusters, one organist and one florist,
Set forth one Friday to hoover and polish,
Church Pews were a mess
and three workmen still there so,
we gathered together to comment and stare
at the hole revealing foundations bare.
How to start, we wondered anew?
Dust was thick on carpet and pew.
As hoovers three, began their chorus
and workmen, still using their drill
George joined in with rousing hymns
and Ida collected her flowers and things.
As workmen departed we really got started,
Like ants rebuilding their home
Dustpan and brush, dusters and polish,
Mop and pail, we set to with a flourish.
Now it’s spic and span for Sunday again
We are pleased with what we have done
We’ve stowed away our tools for next Friday
To do it again- what fun!

Holy Trinity Times
JUNE…..and as I write, it’s coming up roses! Perhaps this is the most beautiful
time of the year for gardens and here in Ventnor we should be proud of our
“flower towers” in the street, and the well-planted boxes as we approach the
town from the East. The local gardens are delightful, and nature is doing her best
and brightest with “Ventnor Pride” on the walls and cliffs. It’s good to grow
things and I enjoy the pots on my balcony and my hanging basket. But it’s also
good to grow things to eat, and that’s been much on my mind as I’ve been
preparing for this week’s “Exploring Christianity” session, which is on
Environmental Ethics….a HUGE subject.
Growing food comes into it a lot, growing enough food for the world’s
population to eat properly, without at the same time turning parts of God’s
Wonderful World into a wasteland while we do it! The question, “Is Creation in
Crisis?” is not entirely about climate change and global warming, but also about
unsustainable agriculture and land use, the difference between an agrarian
community and “agribusiness”! We walk a tight-rope as we try to sustain life in
the poorer communities of the world, but at the same time look after our planet,
so fragile in many ways. The end of this week’s chapter looks at some practical
tips on how to do this as individuals and has made me resolve to attempt more of
them. These tips include buying local and/or organic food, growing our own food
(tomatoes on my balcony?), buying food in season, going vegetarian at least once
a week, supporting Fairtrade schemes, reducing waste and trying to give away a
fixed proportion of income. It’s difficult sometimes to shop ethically if you’re in a
rush and want to buy everything in one place (and cheaply!) but I’m going to try
to be more conscientious!
And while we’re on the subject, quite a lot of my friends have allotments…….
ALLOTMENT ODE
To work in an allotment needs a special set of wires!
A motto of allotmenteers should mirror their desires.
So “Dig for Joy” or “Save our Spades” or simply “Bless the Sod”,
For isn’t it the truth, a garden’s very close to God?
8
And “Plants for all and all to plant” might strike the proper theme,
As after all, allotmenteers should above all, be GREEN!
You pot, you plant, you sow the seed, you hoe, you dig, you rake.
And sometimes, half a pan of beans is all you homeward take!
So forward, brave allotmenteers, your motto should be apt
Before your summer energy is well and truly sapped!
GHANA NEWS. And this month we’re thinking about Canon Barnabas Okoh and his wife Monica,
and their children Shirley (named after Shirley Tamcken), Andrew and Beatrice.
Many of you know a lot about Barnabas already and have met him in church, from
the time that his last parish, St Paul’s, Wenchi, was twinned with St Catherine’s. He
has moved to a bigger township called Techiman and is engaged in the task of
finishing the building of the church of St Andrew’s and the mission house (vicarage)
there, which is a lot to do! St Andrew’s, Techiman has recently been linked to
St Blasius, Shanklin, but I’m sure that Barnabas and his family would still like to hear
from friends in our parishes.
Their address is:
The Rev’d Canon and Mrs Barnabas K. Okoh, St Andrew’s Anglican Church,
P.O Box 345, TECHIMAN MUNICIPALITY, Ghana B/A, W. Africa.
And in the ALPHABET OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, we’ve reached V (X looms
ever nearer!) Some lovely ones here!
A VAMPING HORN was apparently a type of trumpet used in churches for
humming harmonies (“vamping”) to fill out the insufficient body of sound from the
other instruments. It survived until the nineteenth century and you can still see
examples in East Leake near Nottingham and Charing in Kent.
The VATICAN, the Pope’s residence in Rome, is built on a hill where once the
Circus of Nero stood. The present building dates from 1377, though other parts,
including the Sistine Chapel, have been added over the centuries.
VENERABLE…in the Roman Catholic Church, the title given to someone who
MIGHT be made a saint or who has led an exceptionally holy life. In the Church of
England, it’s the proper address of an Archdeacon! (Just the same meaning, then!)
VERGER…strictly speaking, the official who carries a mace or “verge” before
someone important, Nowadays, a cross between a cleaner and a caretaker, so a lot
of us qualify!

Concerts at St Catherine's Church
We are in the middle of a busy time for concerts. During June we have had
three concerts plus the McNaughton-Howe Festival.
The Phoenix Choir sang on Saturday 14th June, to raise funds for
St Catherine's; the concert was brilliant and it raised over £340. It was a
shame that only two people from our church were in the audience. At
most of the concerts we provide refreshments during the interval, and
money raised here also goes to our church funds.
Altogether during June, events at the church will have generated nearly
£800 for the church and a lot of goodwill in the community.
Many thanks to the brave and willing volunteers who work to make the
concerts a success, and make the church available for the community.
In July and August we have more concerts and the Carnival and Fringe will
be using the church.
If you feel you can help in any way, please see either
Shirley or David Tamcken - 506693
Street Pastors
Thank you to all those who support us with prayer and also financially. We
have two teams at the moment with a total of seven members, these being
Mick and Nava, Hugh, Trish, Ivan Shirley and Sue.
While on patrol we have some very interesting conversations with people,
and they often initiate talk about spiritual matters. We are welcomed in
most of the pubs and take-aws. Teams will be out on two nights during the
Fringe and Carnival Week.
We have a great team of ten prayer pastors, who support us when we are
out on the streets; without them we would not be able to do the job. If it is
something you feel you could do, please contact one of the Street Pastors;
we will be losing three of our prayer pastors in the near future.

Gideon “Focus Week” on the Island.
In the days up to and including the Music Festival weekend The Gideons
had a “Focus Week” on the Island. Local members were joined by others
from the mainland and teams spent the week distributing free Bibles.
We visited hotels, care-homes and other businesses all over the Island
from Monday to Friday, and over the weekend, at the invitation of The
Church on the Roundabout at Newport, we had a table by the pavement
displaying Testaments which passers-by could take.
It was a truly amazing time and of the hundreds of contacts made, almost
all were positive, with people very willing to take the Bibles offered. Many
people wanted to know more about our Faith, and as the Testaments have
a “help” section in the front – directing readers to passages dealing with
everyday issues – it was possible to demonstrate how relevant God’s
word is for today. It was especially heartening to see Festival-goers taking a
Testament and walking off up the road leafing through it.
Altogether 2127 Bibles/Testaments will have been distributed; some have
yet to be delivered as certain stocks ran out – there are several different
formats available (large-print, pocket-size etc.) One hotelier was very
impressed that he had phoned Gideon head-office requesting Bibles (not
knowing of the Focus) and about two hours after receiving an email
response his delivery arrived! This was just one example of God’s perfect timing during the week.
The Gideons would like to thank Shanklin and Ryde URC, St Catherine’s
Ventnor, Bethany Newport, The Gospel Mission in Shanklin and The
Church on the Roundabout Newport, for helping in various ways with
logistical issues.
We are also thankful for the funds which our local “Friends” provide, but
most of all we are grateful for the prayer support of local Christians.
If you would like to know any more about the Focus or the work of The
Gideons please phone 866582.

Donut club Ghana well project update.
As you are aware, the donut club had been raising money by
various means in order to build a well in Ghana. All their hard
work has paid off, as they raised £1160, and the water is now
flowing.
The new well is in the village of Wichau-bao, which is about 25
miles from Wa, in Father Moses' parish. For generations, they
had to collect unclean water from the river, so the well has
made a big difference to people's lives. It was dug by hand, even
the cement mixing was done by hand - and the well's site was
found by ants!
A big "Thanks" to all involved in this cross-country project.

MESSY CHURCH
I've often wondered what Messy Church was like - quite a strange
expression - one of the explanations via a dictionary gives "Hodge Podge" -
but as I experienced last Saturday this was definitely not the case!
As eighteen children, each accompanied by an adult came thro' the doors of
St Francis School in Upper Ventnor the afternoon started with an excited
and expectant air, for there was plenty to interest everyone there. We had
a excellent mix of mums and dads sitting around the different craft tables
with their children, and as I nosed around (having escaped from the kitchen for awhile) I couldn't help a huge smile spreading across my face, there was a
great atmosphere, and it looked as it should - a large happy family.
EVERYONE - sticking, glueing, folding paper and Hey Presto, producing
wizzers, crowns, windmills, decorations and aeroplanes. FANTASTIC! was
the word that came to mind. I just must share one picture with you that will
stay with me forever ( there's always one) of a Dad with his little boy, both
so excited flying their plane that had been made together, and yes it really
worked, eyes shining - loud laughter - running after it "do it again" they both
shouted - just as it should be - a family together. And yes it had become a
family afternoon with helpers from many different churches all helping Messy
Church to become ..... one happy family.
Hugh (Rev Hugh Wright) then took the children and parents etc into the
library space for music on the guitar and explanations of what the artwork
meant and a general thanksgiving. Meanwhile, having returned to the kitchen,
and indeed it is a kitchen to behold, everything hidden behind stainless steel
and a cooker that resembled the Tardis we produced a jolly good meal for
everyone there which was received with great relish and disappeared very
quickly. Time to go home, and out they went clutching their crowns and
aeroplanes and all that they had made..."So that's what Messy Church is all
about", I thought, "Great!"

Raising money for Challenge and Adventure Tickets £8 - Concessions £7 and under 12s Free
Challenge & Adventure is a registered charity which was set up in 1992
to help disadvantaged and challenging young people on the Isle of Wight.
We use adventurous and challenging outdoor activities alongside tailored
support to challenge their behaviour and raise their confidence, self
esteem and aspirations. Challenge and Adventure’s aim is to help young
people re-engage at school, home and in the wider community and to help
them get their lives back on track.
We primarily work with young people aged from 13- 18yrs old who are
referred to us by agencies on the Isle of Wight. Many lack confidence
and have low self-esteem; some have difficulties engaging with school;
and some are at risk of getting into trouble with the authorities.

Saturday 2nd August
Newport Minster church hall.
10.00 am to 3.30pm
Work, play and prayer - Norman Chatfield
Did the disciples play football ? Should Martha have a Saint’s Day of her own as
Martha the Worker ? How did Ruth survive a day gleaning in the baking sun with
only a mouthful of grain to eat?
The idea for this day started with some lines from C.S.Lewis’ Letters to Malcolm:
Chiefly on Prayer : “In this world everything is upside-down. That which if it could
be prolonged here would be a truancy, is likest that which in a better country is
the End of ends. Joy is the serious business of heaven”. (Letter 17 on Adoration).
The language feels quaint now but the thought is worth pursuing.
We will aim to explore and share thought about prayer and work and prayer and
play drawing on this book by C.S.Lewis (but not on the Narnia books) and on the
experience of those taking part. There will be discussion, times of silent reflection
and, if those taking think it would be helpful, a little gentle work and play together.
Norman Chatfield was an incumbent of St John’s Sandown, St John’s Lock’s Heath
and St Mary Alverstoke between 1969 and 1992, before joining the Chapter of
Gloucester Cathedral. After retirement he returned to Hampshire to be closer to
family.
Cost: £8.50
Rev’d Hugh Wright will be speaking at the

A Time to Pray ... if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves
